Default Birds, masses of them...can you name them?
Wow...just a few different types of birds here then...I took this photo today(along with several other shots too)...I couldn't believe the amount of birds that were here too...I'm no birdman, I only know the basics...So go on then, have a go at naming them all???...

Having looked in a book, I would agree with you about the Greylag...

This is a sort of trick question...but has anyone noticed the 3 birds on the Dingy an surfcat(Boats) yet???

You were right ...They do look like Cormorants...

The sun only shone a few times yesterday, but when it did come out, the Cormorant on the dingy, spread its wings and held them outstretched...
